I don't know if many of you are watching the LLWS but this Hawaii team is amazing. Every time I look up there whackin' one out. They look like men compared to this Iowa team there playing(Danny Almonte?).
There is also a team from Newtown, PA (suburb of Philly)
I think they got beat yesterday (the Newtown team).

ah, that sucks.
Newtown is 0-2 and pretty much done, though there's a game tomorrow vs Iowa...
Amazing that I actually played for that same Newtown LL All-Star team 13 years ago, and we couldn't even beat Levittown or Richboro.
I played for Old York Road Little League, but I was never all that good and went away during the summer. I think one year we won like 2 games or something and almost made it to the regional tournament.
I played for Honey Brook little league. 2nd place in Chester County! ;D :-D
I was on the Levittown International team as a 10-year old. We didn't go very far though...
Hawaii beating Florida 8-0 in the fifth. Maybe Wade should take a ride over to the LLWS and sign some of these kids. Very fan friendly!
I don't trust these teams that are too dominant.... :sly
Who was that Danny Almonte like dude who has a goatee and struck out 18 kids the other night? Check his birth certificate!
I wonder if he smokes and drives a dirtbike?

I think he had a 5 o'clock shadow by the end of the game.
I don't think Kelly Leak was 12 either....
1976 - led Bears to championship game
1977 - drove van to Houston Astrodome :sly
Saudi Arabia had a black kid with bleached hair that was 6'5" 250 with size 18 shoes... :o
Newtown put up 5 runs in the 1st inning on 3 HRs before the first out was recorded.. :yay
Nice, Ed, its in the eliminated bracket too! :yay

Why is it that every kid on that team had better English skills (with no axsent) than me? Are they all Army brats?
Newtown won by the mercy rule :-D

Quality. Way to go, home team!
Like the Phillies, they play well when there is no pressure :-D
Hawaii vs. California in US final!
Poor kid from Louisiana throws a one hitter and loses 2-0!
Hawaii in the finals!
Hawaii down 6-3 in the 6th to Curacao, scores 3 to send it to extra innings (first time in 34 years), the Hawaiian pitcher throws 76-79 (equivalent of 99-101 major leagues) to put down Curacao 1-2-3, then a home run in the bottom half wins it! First Hawaii team to win the LLWS... :yay :yay :yay
HAWAII WINS HAWAII WINS HAWAII WINS HAWAII WINS!
I didnt get to see the walkoff because my local news is more important! Woohoo fast ferry news!!!!!!!!11111

Did you seet that kid mow down those cocky kids from Curacao(oh by the way their favorite palyer, every single one - Andru Jones, at least one Hawaii kid loved Bobby Abreu) in the top of the seventh? Amazing. Maybe he can just stay in PA and take Rheal's spot on the roster when we cut his ass in the next day or two.
ESPN Classic will be rebroadcasting the game on Friday night. I believe it's on at 8:00 EST.
Hopefully this will help erase game 6 1993 WS at Toronto. That game is always on ESPN Classic.
